A calm, quiet morning

Fridays are one of our busiest days for the dock staff at Chicago Sailing. Today is very calm and not too humid, perfect for getting some work done.
Order of business today for all can be seen below:
1. Do a motor check on all engines. Thats 24 engines and 6 spares!!
2. Clean any boats that need it.
3. Check rigging and sails on all boats.
4. Do fuel check confirming that we have plenty for the next 5 days, if not we will go to pick up clean gas.
5. Pump out all larger boats, check all fluid levels onboard, pump out waste tanks and completely clean and sanitize the 'Heads'.
6. Clean the Houseboat/ office inside and out.
7. Grab a much needed beer in anticipation of the busy weekend.

We do love our jobs and are very grateful to be able to work outside... hopefully everyone appreciates the distances we go to enabling us to keep delivering high standards of service !
